NBU 6.x - SQL Express Compability

[Servet]

Hello All,

Does anyone know that whether NBU 6.x does have a support of the SQL Express?

As I see in updated DB agent compability guide, it is not supported.. I couldn't be sure!

Do you have exact information about this?

"All SQL Server 2000, 2005, & 2008 Editions are supported, except Microsoft Desktop Edition (MDSE) 2000."

SQL Express fits into that grouping.  :)

There may be limitations I'm not aware of, but the SQL Agent should work, yes!
